THEIR LAST SLEEP.
A Hotel in Buffalo Totally Des-
troyed by Fire.
A Number Of Guests Perish In
the Flames.

BUFFALO, n. Y, March 24.-Fire
was discovered at $3.50 this morning in
the new Richmond hotel. The house
contained large number of guests.
and their heart rending shrieks could
be plainly heard. Ladders were raiseH
as soon as possible, and as many as
could be rescued were taken out, but a
large number of them were unable to
effect their escape. The corridor i'll
the center of the building acted as a
great funnel, and ds the flames
streamed upward and the guests found
themselves imprisoned by walls of fire.
the screams of unfortunates could b.
heard for blocks, and at many of tlt
windows they could be seen calling fo'
nelp. At one Of the third story win
dows two guests were seen to fall back
into the flames, and one man
jumped from the (ifth floor
to the roof OF Il two story
building adjoining and was seriously
injured. The number of those in
jured is not exactly known. w. w.
Barso, of Olean, N. y, was seriously
burned about the hands and wrists. y
number of insurance men were in the
building and eight OF them were badly
injured. The Fitch hospital contains
| eight men and one woman. more Orless
injured, one at the sisters hospital and
! four at the general hospital.
AS far as can be ascertained the dead
number thirteen. and the seriously in
jured nineteen. The walls of the
burned building are a menace to lite
and until they are raZed and the ruins
cooled no search for bodies can he
made Itis undoubtedly q fact that
thirty persons perished. The total loss
by fire will reach $40O.OCO.

Danger of Annlhilation.

The Little Hart river flows into the
Missouri just below Mandan, and
should the ice in this stream break to-
day or before the Buford rise arrives
the entire surplus water OF the flood
will be backed into Mandan. The high
trestle of the Northern Pacific is
wrecked, and Bismarck is the termi-
nus of the Northern Pacific railroad.
Yesterday a passenger train with its
load of people bound for the Pacific
coast and intermediate points, ar
rived here and laid on Q side
track all night, and will not be able
to leave for several days. Renewed
efforts to break the gorge at Sibley
island will be made, but it will be q
waste of dynamite. Thegorge consists
of six miles,of solid ice, wedged in to
thevery bottom of the river and piled
to the height of thirty feet. All mail
routes are blocked. The snow storm
has been transformed into binding
blizzard and it is feared the rescuing
parties will be lost. They are out in
small yawls and with the binding
storm and a current of ten miles ar
hour will be unable to guide theil
crafts or keep their bearings.

A Common Cold

Is often the beginning Of serious atfec.
tions Of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes,
snd Lungs. Therefore. the Importance Of
early and effective treatment cannot be
overestimated. Ayers Cherry Pectoral
may always be relied upon for the speedy
cure of Cold or Cough.
Last january l was attacked with o
severe Cold, which, by neglect and fre-
quent exposures, became worse, finally
settling on my lungs. A. terrible cough
soon followed, accompanied by pains In
che chest, from which suffered intensely.
After trying various remedies, without
obtaining relief, I commenced taking
Ayers Cherry Pectoral, and was
Speedily Cured.
I am satisfied that this remedy saved my
life.-Jno. Webster, Pawtucket, r. I.
I contracted q severe cold, which sud.
denly developed into Pneumonia, present.
Ing dangerous and obstinate symptoms:
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. His instructions
were followed, and the result was rapid
and permanent cure.-H. E. Simpson,
Rogers Prairie, Texas.
Two years ago suffered from severe
Cold which settled on my Lungs. con-
suited various physicians, and took the
medicines they prescribed, but received
only temporary relief. Afriend induced
me to try Ayers Cherry Pectoral. After
taking two bottles of this medicine was
cured. Since then I have given the Pee.
toral to my children, and consider it
The Best Remedy

Robert Vanderpool, Meadville, Pa.
Some time ago took slight Cold,
which, being neglected, grew worse, and
settled on my lungs. had hacking
cough, and was very weak. Those who
knew me best considered my life to be
in great danger. / continued to suffer
until commenced using Ayers Cherry
Pectoral. Less than one bottle of this val
liable medicine cured me, and feel that
owe the preservation Of my life to its
curative powers. Mrs. Ann Lockwood,

Ayers Cherry Pectoral is considered,
here, the one great remedy for all diseases

II the British war ships arrive at
Honolulu before any revolution takes
place they will, it is said, be bound
to support King Kalakaua and his
government. 1t is probable that
there will be trouble before the ves-
sells arrive. In which case they would
have to protect the government then
in existence. English, German, Span
ish and American residents of the
islands are believed to be in favor OF
annexation to the United States. 4
body OF volunteers. composed of
planters and business men, has bsen
under military drill for somo time
last and its members are decidedly
opposed to kalakaus and Prime Min
lister Gibson. The Hawaiian army
would, of course, defend the king in
case OF an uprising, but as It ONLY
consist OF 200 lazy Kanakas, little
trouble Is expected ON that Sc 70
Thousand. Of natives would, however.
side with the king. 1t is even thu.rht
that Kalakaua would be- so alarmed
when he learned of the shipment of
srms that be viii do as the people
desire. At al events revolution Is
imminent and news via the next
steamer, which will arrive in about
ten days, Is AWAITED with interest.

The Alaskan steamer Ancon had q
large cabin passenger list on her up
trip, and so many Storage pa sengeTs
that they hardly knew what to do
with them. About 50 of her cabin
passengers were booked for the round
trip, some Of whom will stop off for 4
few days visit in the sQueen City.
The travel this year is much larger
than last, and the report OF recent
rich gold discoveries is attracting
people from ali parts OF the country.
The Haley mine, near Sitka, has
fer year Or two past done scarcely
anything, and has been considered a
poor property. But recent discoveries
made few days ago by somc of the
minors, show that they have probably
struck it rich, and it Is reported that
1t will prove to be the richest mine il
